Description

Enter the dark, magical world of the House of Night series by bestselling authors P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast, a world very much like our own, except here vampyres have always existed.

One minute, sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird is a normal teenager dealing with everyday high school stress: her cute boyfriend Heath, the school's star quarterback who suddenly seems more interested in partying than playing ball; her nosy frenemy Kayla, who's way too concerned with how things are going with Heath; her uber-tough geometry test tomorrow.

The next, she's Marked as a fledgling vampyre, forcing her to leave her ordinary life behind and join the House of Night, a boarding school where she will train to become an adult vampyre. That is, if she makes it through the Change—and not all of those who are Marked do.

It sucks to begin a new life, especially away from her friends, and on top of that, Zoey is no average fledgling. She has been chosen as special by the vampyre Goddess, Nyx. Zoey discovers she has amazing powers, but along with her powers come bloodlust and an unfortunate ability to Imprint with Heath, who just doesn't know how to take "no" for an answer. To add to her stress, she is not the only fledgling at the House of Night with special powers: when she discovers that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the school's most elite group, is misusing her Goddess-given gifts, Zoey must look deep within herself for the courage to embrace her destiny—with a little help from her new vampyre friends.

  • Not for children

    This book should not be read by any 13 year old. What is wrong with this mother and her daughter as authors? This has porn not just sex. Don’t adults have sense enough to know better than to recommend this trash to children who are being overdosed with hormones these days? Jenks Oklahoma was listed in a documentary about the middle school girls giving boys BJs. Now I know why. This is disgusting. Also teaching them to touch themselves. What is wrong here? And this might be a television show? I thought Oklahoma was proud to be a Bible Belt state. Obviously these two authors don’t read the Bible. How sad and gross!!

    I have read this book numerous times starting as a teenager. It’s got the perfect amount of thrill, romance, and is so in touch with nature. The storyline is amazing and I’m eager to start the next one ❤️

    OK I don’t actually own it on Apple But I do own a paperback version of it (In real life I mind you) And I’ve only gotten two around chapter 7 But it’s still OK I am like 13 But I’m not very sensitive to swearing or anything But I’ll give you a review of it so far and what Grease I have with it 1) there’s a lot of swearing (elaboration) There is a lots of swearing in this book If you’re looking for a good read for younger kids I suggest you not get this book 2) there is sexual content (elaboration) There is descriptions of sexual parts of the body like breasts So far I haven’t gone to any of the juicy stuff But I can tell I’m just at the beginning 3) it’s hard to tell what book you’re on (elaboration) It’s extremely hard to tell if you’re on the first book or if your on the 13th It acts as if it’s the second book in it already series Which caught me off guard it was hard to tell what I was reading and what was going on Everything just happened really fast 4) The characters are a little “cookie cutter” (elaboration) The characters are a little bland that’s all I have to say (Overall review) The story is interesting but it has a few problems (as I’ve listed) But overall it’s a pretty interesting story and the characters aren’t too awful but remember I’m only on chapter 7 So I haven’t had a full grasp of the entire story but is far as I can tell the story is OK and quite interesting if you really think about it My mom introduced me to the story not too long ago But really truly I’m not super interested in finishing the book But it doesn’t matter I will finish the book and if I can update this review I give it four stars it’s not wonderful but it’s OK (Age rating) 13-18

    I’ve read, and reread this series so many times, that I quote it quite a bit. Each character spoke to a different level of my being throughout my own character development. Not super into the whole vamp aesthetic, but this book and its series is an exception. You won’t regret.

    There are curse words. There are also inappropriate scenes.
